AVR-ISP500-ISO - usb mass storage as advertised

Hello!  I purchased 2 AVR-ISP500-ISO programmers in anticipation of using the USB mass storage mode as advertised here:

https://www.olimex.com/Products/AVR/Programmers/AVR-ISP500-ISO/

"AVR-ISP500-ISO is professional, fast and reliable USB AVR programmer. It have two modes of work: STK500 compatible USB programmer and USB Mass storage. In STK500 mode it working directly with AVR Studio. It "

Thanks for the help!

Hello alienpcs,

Unfortunately, the Mass Storage feature (as advertised) is not present in the ISO version of the AVR-ISP500. AVR-ISP500-ISO has a command-logging state. This is a mistake of Olimex and the web page. This mistake isn't present in the datasheet, though.

The only ISP500 product Olimex sells and has a specific Mass Storage firmware is AVR-ISP500-TINY: https://www.olimex.com/Products/AVR/Programmers/AVR-ISP500-TINY/. Refer to this document on how the Mass Storage might be used: https://www.olimex.com/Products/AVR/Programmers/AVR-ISP500-TINY/resources/AVR-ISP500-TINY.pdf. It requires a firmware update with specific image and a number of files.

We recognize the mistake and it is now fixed. If you specifically wish replacement with AVR-ISP500-TINY or refund on the AVR-ISP500-ISO please write an e-mail to support@olimex.com and quote this forum thread.

Best regards,
Lub/OLIMEX
